Re: Environment Variables
You can test it simply by imitating an installed program.
Simply use this ".reg" file:
This problem has been found when I try to uninstall "Synaptics TouchPad driver".
Simply use this ".reg" file:

"UninstallString"="%windir%\\system32\\calc.exe"
"DisplayName"="Test Test"

Re: Environment Variables
Fixed in 3.4 (currently in development): correct reading of REG_EXPAND_SZ registry values.
